Green Eggs & AM – Aliso

Round two of the Green Eggs & AM event series took place at Aliso Beach over the weekend of March 31, 2012 and April 1, 2012 (yes, April Fools Day) and the surf was UP to say the least. A large swell kicked through over the weekend along with some ominous weather but the competitors still showed up with their game face on.

We want to give a special shout out to Nolan Rodgers on his first place win in the beginners division. He was charging waves over his head and pulling them off. Congratulations to Nolan and to all of the other Victoria riders that competed in the event.

Look to the Green Eggs & AM website or Facebook for results and updates. The final event looks to be at West Street on April 29, 2012.

Green Eggs & AM

The Green Eggs & AM contest series started this last weekend up in Newport Beach. Put on each year by Paulo Preitto, the Green Eggs & AM is a great contest series for amateur skimboarders to get ready for the contest season. Full results of the contest will be available soon but Victoria’s Matthieu Thibaud took some pictures and did get results of the Advanced division. A shout out to Johnny Salta for taking 1st place in the Advance division beating out Zane Waysz, Kenneth Suzuki, and Jeremiah Sheldon and then to Nolan Rodgers for taking 2nd place in the Beginner division.

The next event will be West Street on March 31, 2012.

Hobie retail mural in Laguna Beach

“A Day In The Life Laguna Beach” is a public art project that master sculptor Randy Morgan has envisioned and is to be gifted to the community. It is a bronze bas-relief sculptured mural 40 feet by 12 feet in the classic old world style. Randy’s vision for this piece pays tribute and homage to the rich ocean heritage and waterman culture pf Laguna Beach.

The finished piece will be placed on the Hobie building in downtown Laguna Beach. The art has been approved and accepted by the city of Laguna Beach and will be presented in April 2012. To see Tex Haines involvement in the project, check out the website @ http://adayinthelifelagunabeach.com/
